A-Rod Supports Manny’s Trek to 500

Here’s a nice tidbit from George King III (NY Post):
Though Alex Rodriguez eyes a return from the disabled list Tuesday at Yankee Stadium, Rodriguez said he understands he set himself up for a vicious booing by Red Sox fans for helping friend Manny Ramirez celebrate when Ramirez hits his 500th home run.
“Manny wanted four people to make a video for him, and I was one of them,” Rodriguez said. “I filmed it last week.”
What does Rodriguez say to his friend upon entering the fraternity Rodriguez joined last year?
“I said, ‘Manny, I am going to make this brief because I am going to get booed. Congratulations and many more.’ “
With the Red Sox starting a seven-game home stand tomorrow night, there is a good chance Ramirez will reach the magic number.
That’s pretty cool. I’m looking forward to Manny’s 500th HR.
i wonder whos gona get the high five this time! I think it was funny that he did that and got the double play but im suprised nodody had anything negative to say about that
Yea, I was wondering about that as well. Where did all the traditionalists go? That Manny being Manny quote is a great strategy for dodging criticism. Maybe we should run with the Joba being Joba line?
I’m excited too! Go Manny!
And you CANNOT say Joba being Joba. Anyway, he’s just showing his enthusiasm for what he does… who cares? I don’t like him at all, but that’s cuz he’s a Yankee, not cuz he throws a fist pump (and a cute little twirl) here and there.
